George Pickens is one of the most physically talented receivers in the entire NFL. With one year remaining on his contract, the Pittsburgh Steelers got a 2026 third-round pick and a late-round pick swap in 2027. Was that return enough for a player of his talent?
According to Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Ray Fittipaldo, the trade market was weaker than expected.
“Not a lot of teams called and the others that did weren’t close to the Cowboys’ offer,” Fittipaldo wrote in his weekly Steelers chat via P-G.
“It’s a good deal considering the Steelers did not want to deal with him any longer,” Fittipaldo replied to another question about the value of the trade.
